What is Blanket Attic Insulation?

February 21st, 2009 . by admin

When it comes to doing home improvement projects, there is no better way to start than to insulation your attic, if you haven’t done it already. It is a great way to enhance the energy efficiency of your house.

There are basically two important types of insulation: blown in and blanket attic insulation. Blanket insulation is also called batts or rolled in.

Blanket insulation is most effective if it is used in order to cover cracks or spaces. This must be done in order to increase the R-value of your attic. If you live in a cold climate, it works great if it is applied as an extra layer.
